Site Description: The location is the northern part of Dundrum Inner Bay. The bay is sedimentary in nature, and empties completely at low tide through a narrow channel between the nature reserve and the army camp. There are three main freshwater inflows into this northern part of the bay, which cut channels through the sand and mud at low tide. As there are several different types of sediment in the bay, it was decided to visit five different areas within the location in order to get a clearer idea of the range of different communities and sediments which are present. % groups of 5 box quadrats were dug.
